A Holy Year or Jubilee is a privileged period that invites us to experience God’s goodness<\/strong> and to renew our faith<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During this year, we are encouraged to experience God’s mercy<\/strong> in the sacrament of penance<\/strong> to open our hearts more widely to the Lord and others.<\/p>\n

We are also called to go on a pilgrimage<\/strong> to walk with our feet and with our hearts. By placing ourselves under God’s gaze, we must make an inner journey: asking the Holy Spirit to transform our hearts<\/strong> and discern what holds us back from being closer to God. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Pilgrims of hope. <\/strong>That is the theme of this jubilee. As the logo suggests, we look to the Cross, the sign of Hope (symbolised by the anchor). Our human journey takes place in the midst of the turbulent waters of our contemporary world and our own torments. But we do not walk alone, but as part of a dynamic community that embraces differences. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
